In general, the trip was very good, Our room was nice and the boat was as beautiful as the pics of brochure. Good food, interesting activities, especially friendly and helpful crew. This was our 1st trip in Halong bay and we are satisfied with what we got. NIce boat and well done!

We opted for the 2 day cruise option. The boat itself was very nice, our room was very comfortable and looked very stylish. Activities included kayaking around the bay and a visit to a cave. For our second day we were booked to do kayaking, but unforuntately my partner was ill, so the staff made arrangements for us to go on the day boat to Cat Ba Island with the people doing the cyclibng option. It actually worked out well, as the trip to Cat Ba was about 3 hours each way and travelled through many of the floating villages which were amazing. There were very few other tourist boats out that way, and it felt like a much more private experience. The food on the boat was some of the best we had in Vietnam. Drinks on the boat were still cheap, only about $2 for a beer. The staff were friendly and helpful and made sure everyone had a good time. I would definately recommend the 2 day option if you have time - the one day means you only get to see a small part of the bay where about 30+ boats are moored, the trip to Cat Ba was fantastic.
